What is TryArch?

TryArch is an intensive one-day workshop held each fall in which you can experience an architecture studio environment, learn about drawing and fabrication, and build content for a portfolio--just in time for graduate school applications. The workshop is led by School of Architecture faculty Antonio Torres and Ania Jaworska.

TryArch 2018: Pleasure, Furniture, and Walls will focus on the development of an interior architectural space through the production of drawings and material compositions. Participants will generate physical models and drawings in order to discover new formal organizations, pleasurable atmospheres, and spatial potentials. This experimental workshop challenges preconceived notions of architectural space and offers a fresh perspective on how to architecture.

Who can attend?

Anyone! No previous experience is required. The workshop is intended for any adult or current undergraduate student who wants to learn more about what architecture is all about, get to know the School of Architecture at UIC, or create content for a grad school admission portfolio. Anyone looking for a more in-depth experience should also consider YArch, the School's month-long intensive summer design workshop. High school-aged students interested in attending a workshop should consider HiArch, a summer program for high school students.
